[2000-11-06-WCW-Nitro] Goldberg vs Bam Bam Bigelow

[soup23]

A new streak has started up for Goldberg. Good promo by Goldberg before an attack by Luger setting up their Mayhem match. Goldberg is gimpy on his leg and the match is super quick but entertaining while it lasts. Goldberg in particular gives an amazing punch to start the comeback. After a bit of back and forth, Goldberg delivers a great spear and jackhammer for the win as Luger looks on from the stage. Fun competitive squash. *

Gene Okerlund congratulates Goldberg about his streak still being in tact and confirms that a match has been signed between Lex Luger and him for the next PPV, Mayhem, later this month.  Before Luger though there is a little problem by the name of Bam Bam Bigelow who showed up last week saying that he wants a part of him.  Goldberg can’t believe that a talent like that has been sat at home for the past five months, but it’s a death wish him wanting him.  He goes on to say that he’s heard enough about Lex Luger, when Lex joins him.  As Luger runs down his previous championship credentials Goldberg is attacked from behind by Bam Bam and the two of them leave him lying.

Goldberg jogs to the ring for a change but is immediately jumped by Bigelow the moment he slides in under the bottom rope.  A rake of the eyes momentarily takes away his vision and as he tries to regain it in the corner, Bam Bam with a big Avalanche splash before kicking Goldberg to the outside.  He’s still struggling with his eyesight, swinging aimlessly on punches that Bigelow easily avoids.  The whip on the floor is reversed and Bam Bam goes crashing into the guard rail.  That doesn’t take much out of him though and he fires back with a clothesline, Goldberg taking a bump on the ringside mats.  As they return to the ring Lex Luger walks out to the top of the entrance way in order to get a better view of things.  Goldberg blocks a shot and one mighty right hand drops Bigelow.  He has some words for Luger but the distraction allows Bam Bam to catch him with a belly to back.  Top rope diving head butt and Goldberg kicks out at two.  Bigelow signals for the ‘Greetings from Asbury Park’ however Goldberg floats over, shoves him into the ropes and levels him with a spear.  After some more words directed at Luger he gets Bam Bam up for the jackhammer and the streak continues.

Another fun short Goldberg match.  Lex looks pretty old here and I can’t say the thought of a feud between him and Goldberg does much for me at this time.
